both extremes are bad, low usually means excessive bearing gaps, high pressure could mean there is a blockage in one of the galleries, before jumping to conclusions, get your sender unit and gauge checked

Hate to burst your bubble, but theres a fair chance its not gauges. Its still a good idea to check them, but after rebuilding an engine, it would seem suspicious that they went at the same time. But you never can be too careful

Did they pack the oil return spring ?
Or fit a high presure / volume pump?
Check with capilary gauge? It maybe 10 higher than normal, with electronic gauge it maybe alittle out of calibration ????Reading higher than it should...

put a mechanical gauge on it close to the donk and what pressure is it at idle and at revs when warm
my old clevo had 95 psi and it ran for 7 years and umpteen hundred thousand ks with high oil pressure with no trouble
what grade oil are you using .

the grade of oil is, 10/40, i was worried about it being a little thin, & for some reason i can no longer find 20/40.
